smed55 , I would love to chat with you if you are still out there.
After 40 years I have reconnected with my high school sweet heart. We were discussing movies one night. I seem to recall going with her to the “Twin” back around 1970/71, to see “Joe” and “Night of The Living Dead.” I want to say the were both playing the same night. Does anyone recall this and am I correct. I also seem to recall seeing “Willard” there at some point. I miss the place. As high schoolers we had some fun times there………….jeff, Greene, RI

This place was part of my childhood. I worked there in 1979. BEST summer job ever. I miss drive ins but mostly the Twin “SEE” screen and the “KONK screen. I also miss the Baystate along with the rest of Seekonk before 1980. I think member smed55(DAVID) above was my manager. There was an assistant manager then at that time as well. Everyone there were nice.
